20 ways you waste money on your car

why paint protections matters?Cars make us irrational. We call them our babies and lovingly wax them every weekend ... Either mindset will cost you money, sometimes a lot of it

MSN recently wrote a beautiful article "20 ways that we can waste money on our cars will be "Car washes.Ten bucks for long lines and gray water? Nothing shows you care like doing it yourself.

just after 10 days or so without washing her (this was shot 14 months ago) (car age -8 months old)

that is the very reason, our car instruction manual hand book recommends us to wax as often as we change our engine oils....

I have been doing a study on the effectiveness on paint protection?at my own discretion, in quietly & secretly on my sis new car....

22 months ago (car age 1 month old)

when she got her ride 2 years ago, I offer to detail her ride, at the beginning I did the washing & wax

but 8 months later, when she is got busy....the ride became.....turning from white to zebra

a year later I got some OPTI COATING from USA and without her knowledge, I embark on this secret voyage...since she doesnt have the time to maintain her ride, by putting on the world's acclaim coating on..........hoping to find a solution for people like her..........perhaps to treat her laziness

nobody knew in my family, i even make some shots after the coating (car age 8 months old)

position mark on the hood

the uncoated side

the following day, i did some day light shots, in order to documenting this study

not too bad after 8 months (age 8 months old) driving & in spite of sending it regularly to the road side wash

(age 8 months old)

left side - Pls pay extra attention to this part (the non coated part)

giving back to her ride like new (age 8 months old)

Why protecting?The finish on your car, from the primer through the top coat, is just .004 to .006 of an inch thick. It is inevitable that our clear coat paint would deteriorate and become dull with time. Acids Rain, winds, extreme heat, pollution from factory emission, insect fluids and bird droppings damage the car's finish. protection such as wax, sealantit would be even better after coating as it adds another .002 -.003 of an inch thick on our clearthis acts as a barrier between the car finish and the degrading factors.

its time every owner should start taking care of their investment.

just a weekly wash & a monthly wax will drive a long way

the conclusionthe very part of the paint is protected - it will with stand the stress & test of time12 months later

This is really cool...cause I just Opti-Coated my car. I was hoping to read some durability threads but these pics give great comparisons about its protection. Like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

This is a clear example of why we do what we do and why our vehicles are the envy of others. While I have enough products to outlast several lifetimes it's something that I enjoy doing and all my vehicles are a reflection of my obsession.

There's nothing better to put on a new car than Opti Coat. Best decision I ever made in terms of protecting my car against the elements...NOW throw in salt, harsh North East winters, and it becomes even more important.

This is one of the first reviews I've seen on Opti Coat over the LONG term...makes me smile even more...seeing is believing. Thanks again Dr G...and your awesome staff.

I have just recently (as in the past week) discovered the joys of Opti-Coat, it feels really good to have a visual representation of how much protection my cars are going to have over the coming years. Thank you! I will need to save this thread for future reference to show others.

What is Opti Coat

Opti-Coat is a hard wearing, ceramic clear coat for superior resistance to scratching (9H) and protection from chemical etching due to environmental impacts.
The Opti-Coat pre-polymer cross links, and forms a continuous protective film on the painted surface it is applied to, similar to a single component isocyanate that forms a clear coat finish.
Opti-Coat has better chemical resistance, scratch & mar resistance, and release properties than any automotive paint coating in use. It provides permanent protection for all modern factory paints and can also be used to protect metal and hard plastic surfaces.
